Implementation of Upgrader Advanced Control
Our Upgrader advanced process control solutions have resulted in multi-million dollar benefits for a major integrated oil and gas company in Canada.
OUR SOLUTION
We have been offering turn-key advanced control applications as well as continuous maintenance, improvements, and support for the vital operating units at this important facility for more than 20 years.
Integrated soft sensors for important laboratory measurements, operator training, model-predictive control with unit optimization, and a new plant historian with cutting-edge visualizations, data analytics, electronic logbooks, and management reports were all included in our supply.
THE RESULTS
Each process unit has different local benefits. Generally, distillation specifications are less variable by 20–25% and operation stability is enhanced, enabling local throughput increases contingent on downstream capacity.
